Well, that’s a major understatement when it comes to these two. Because not only does their Southern e-sesh serve up some serious style, it also happens to be set on an Italian style property with major curb appeal. I’m talking stunning gardens and sweet kisses and it’s all lives in a gallery that is just too good not to share. See it all fromVasia Photographyhere!

From Vasia Photography… I was so excited to have the opportunity to travel to Texas for the first time to visit some dear friends. The trip was made even better when Aman & Justin asked me to do their engagement session while I was in town!

Le San Michele is a heavenly location, just outside of Austin it is a beautiful rustic stone cottage nestled on a gorgeous Italian style property. I hope you love this one as much as I do!

Grass sweeping your heels, late evening toasts kissed by the sun and warm breezes wrapping you in love—they’re my jam. And Jenna McElroy is delivering just that today with these backyard beautiful I do’s. I know, right? I had to double take when I read ‘backyard’, but it’s true. With the help of Lisa Coffman, Marquee Event Group and Lee Warth, this private residence was turned intro a straight up love lounge. There’s more this way!

From The Bride…Garrett and I were fortunate enough not only to have the wedding of our dreams, but also to be able to have it in Garrett’s backyard. As we started wedding planning and researching venues, we quickly realized that nothing could beat a backyard reception. Our goal was to create an environment that felt secluded, tucked away, almost enchanted, even though we were set in the middle of the Texas Hill Country. What we were able to create over the next few months, after a lot of help from both of our parents, as well as a little makeover to the yard and a few large tents, far exceeded both Garrett and I’s expectations. With the guidance of an outstanding wedding planner and amazing vendors we were able to spend our perfect wedding night celebrating our new life together with our closest family and friends.

http://www.stylemepretty.com/2015/07/23/outdoor-summer-hill-country-wedding/#commentsThu, 23 Jul 2015 16:00:46 +0000http://www.stylemepretty.com/?p=516132Strictly Texan with a touch of glamour, this fabulous Vista West Ranchfete from Heather Hawkins is Southern with a shabby chic flair. I’m talking a wedding party sporting cowboy boots and Texas Hill Country dressed up like you’ve never seen before. It’s rustic meets romance and it’s all waiting for you in the gallery!

From Heather Hawkins… I’m eager to share this sweet outdoor summer wedding with you! It had been pouring rain all Spring in Texas and the clouds held back for this outdoor ceremony, lucky for the bride Katie!

From the beautiful Bride… My husband, Dalton, and I have a very unique love story. It’s one that we love to tell over and over, even when we sometimes get caught up in life. Our wedding was an exact reflection of our story, which began in Austin TX five years ago. Originally from New Jersey and having moved to Chicago for college, an outdoor Texas wedding was not exactly what I had always dreamed of since a little girl. However, it couldn’t have been more fitting for us as a couple. I wanted to bring to life all of the many qualities that made me fall in love with Dalton for our special day. When I met him, I found myself quickly at ease with his laid-back nature, free spirit, and gentle heart. Born and raised in Texas, Dalton grew up spending a lot of time on his family’s ranch in West Texas. On our first visit to Vista West Ranch, we immediately connected with the rustic hillside beauty and intricate Texas charm that I myself have come to love. Among all qualities about Dalton that I appreciate most, much like what I loved most about Vista West, was how different he was from any other relationship I have had. He was a country boy, yet sophisticated and simple with so much character; he could be quiet at times and others full of life. It was a familiar feeling, and one I was eager to share with all our friends and family a little over a year later.

After finding our golden venue, we got even luckier with owners Joe and Stacy from Vista West Ranch, who could not have been more inviting and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. From beginning to end, the perfect day we had imagined turned out to be just that and more. Every little detail was so well thought out by our wonderful vendors, “Team Huey,” especially our Day-Of Coordinator, Jaime, from Coordinate This. There’s something so surreal and romantic about an outdoor ceremony in the middle of Texas Hill Country that speaks to you, as if we were the only ones in that moment promising our lives to each other. I could not have imagined a more meaningful spot to say our vows than under the gorgeous lace and eucalyptus-entwined trellis that Lindsay from Petal Pushers designed for us. Continuing the tone of our ceremony, our head dinner table was lined with the same fresh eucalyptus runner over a lovely vintage farm table. The room was surrounded by natural exposed wood, draped burlap curtains and hanging ball twine lights, while outside our guests enjoyed our signature cocktails and sugar cookies by the bonfire under the twinkling-lit oak trees. Needless to say, the night was our kind of “dreamy.”

Our Texas Wedding would not have been complete without our wedding party dressed in cowboy boots and a first dance to Texas Country artist, Wade Bowen. The love and support was so present in the room, and looking back we would not have changed a thing. Thanks to our amazing photographer, Heather Hawkins, we are able to enjoy looking at all our photos of the day and night reminiscing all the little moments that seem to fly by so fast. Many traveled so far to share in our special day and now we’ll forever have the once in a lifetime memories.

Especially when said Dallas fete is packed with wooden engraved coasters, an on-site poet, and plenty of organic details. It is – without a doubt – a lesson in love and one scroll through the gallery from Apryl Ann Photography shows you exactly what I mean!

From Apryl Ann Photography… Sara and Josh, a librarian and scientist from Chicago, were married on a Saturday afternoon in the historic district of Dallas. Their wedding was filled with elegant and organic details such as the silk and willow ribbon tied to each individual wooden engraved coaster. Or the arch made of cream and white florals. And because Sara is such a word worm, they had a poetry maker there typing up mini poems on a typewriter based on what the guests wanted.

I mean, the Bride and Groom are just about as gorgeous as they get. And can we talk about her side braid for a minute? So Pinterest-worthy. Actually, it all is. With the perfect bit of glam, blush and gold Yellow Umbrella Events & Design & WOW Factor Floral Design hit the ball out of the design park, and I’m officially drooling over every image. See them all here.

From Awake Photography…Leah and Brian’s Cali-Tex wedding in the stunning Texas Hill Country was the truly a day to be remembered. Leah and her fabulous side braid were showstoppers alongside her bridesmaids in mix-matched blush sequins. The glam was amped up by Yellow Umbrella Events and the talented ladies at Wow Factor Floral. Touches of gold and plenty of blush tones tied the day together perfectly.

With carousels, ferris wheels, roller coasters and more, beach boardwalks are the perfect spot for a fun-loving couple to take their engagement photos. And these gorgeous shots from Feather & Twine Photography are exactly why. See all the fun here.

From Feather & Twine Photography… Vivian and Kevin came to us with the idea of wanting their engagement session to be really, really FUN. They are currently in a long distance relationship because of jobs and grad school, so when they get to be together they truly live each moment full of intention. Vivian told us that she really loved the travel photos that Talon and I take when we are on trips together, and that they wanted their engagements to have that same vibe and instantly our heads were spinning with ideas. We had just moved to Austin, so we traveled down to Kemah to meet these two and it truly was like a play date with friends in a new city. They were unafraid to be charismatic, goofy and playful in front of the camera and that is truly what makes all the difference in an engagement session. It allowed us to take their love and truly photograph it in all it’s essence.

From the Bride and Groom… We wanted the engagement shoot to capture what our lives are with each other. We’re just two kids, who happen to be adults, exploring the world together with childlike wonder. For us, the engagement shoot felt so natural because we didn’t feel like we were under the scrutiny of a camera lens. We took a walk, took in the view, rode the Ferris wheel, and talked on a bench. We just let ourselves be swept away by a day of fun with two new friends, Kelsey and Talon.
